Only in broken Makefiles. WARNS?= 3 should work in all cases (except
when WARNS is set at a higher level, e.g., on the command line, in
which case the setter really wants that level and individual makefiles
should not override it). Makefiles may be broken by including
../Makefile.inc before setting WARNS, in which case the setting may
be obained from ../Makefile.inc and any setting in the Makefile is
bogus. Another common error is "WARNS= 3" to break any setting at
a higher level.
